LittleMe Jewell Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I've only recently started looking at tattoos - never before been a tattoo person. Thus I seldom pay too much attention to such talks here on the forums. Yet I do vaguely remember something lately about tattoos and them being applied to one side vs both. I saw an ad today that brought this up for me. Per the picture below, is this really possible on all mesh bodies or only some that give special tattoo features? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover Jinx Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Legs yes, arms no. Unless it's with the Slink bodies, maybe others. I've slept since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, so for some odd reason, the 'same on both sides' thing only applies to arms. Good to know, but that seems awfully strange. By the same token, I know nothing about the avatar mesh.

It's because the template only has one arm. http://www.robinwood.com/Catalog/Technical/SL-Tuts/SLPages/AVUVTemplates.html Edited March 4, 2018 by Clover Jinx 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Now why the hell would the template only have one arm, yet have two legs? I mean, really?!? Who the hell came up with that idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Luminos Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Some mesh bodies allow you to hide one arm or both on the tattoo layer - the Signature Gianni hud will do this - so you can have a tattoo on one arm only. However if it's in any way integrated with the tattoo on the upper torso it's going to look a bit odd. And as far as I can tell, there's no way to have different tattoos on each arm.

Yes, the Slink and Gianni body let you have different tattoos on each arm. https://strawberrysingh.com/2017/06/24/letis-tattoo-modular-tattoos-hud/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blush Bravin Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 There is a rather extreme work around for those using bodies other than the Slink and Gianni. This might be viable for photography. The work around is to wear 2 copies of the body and alpha out all by one arm on one and only alpha the arm on the other. Apply the two different tats to each body separately and then wear the two bodies at the same time. You're doubling your body geometry by doing so and why I say it's an extreme work around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit complex and result in a higher render, but definitely a good idea for a picture if you really only want the tat on one arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
